I just received my EVGA 650 GT from Amazon and it was shipped in one of those grey plastic envelopes instead of a box and it got kind of beat up. The box was smushed and it looks like it was shaken so much that the interior of the box and the small plastic bags were badly chewed up.  My question is if this could also cause damage to the power supply?  I'm not sure how much vibration PSUs are designed to handle beyond what happens during normal shipping.  What would you do?  Attached are pictures to show my concerns. TIA

    It’s probably fine really since EVGA well packages PSU. I would though contact Amazon and let them know about the damage to the box. They might give a refund on part o the cost. Also if the product has physical damage I would get a replacement.

    Who knows how much internal damage could have occurred..( knocked of caps, insulators, inductors )..
    If it was me,  I'd get it replaced and not take the chance .
    Amazon should send you a new one fairly fast if you show them those pictures .
